[Spridgets] Bugeye / Midget conversion parts

[Miniac7 at aol.com]

The springs out of the Bugeye are 9.5" long and the springs out of the '73  
(1275) Midget are 7.5". I have no idea if either of these springs sets are  
original for either of the cars. Both appeared to have normal ride height,  
although I could be mistaken about that if really put to the test.
 
As noted, springs are cheap, so in order to take the guess work and  
experimentation out of the mix, I'm probably going to opt for new springs and be  
done with it. That raises another question however.
 
Looking at the stock springs in the VicBrit catalog, it lists one spring  
number for the 948 cars and a different number for the 1098/1275 cars. 
Looking  at the lowering springs in the same catalog, it lists only a number for 
the  1098/1275 cars and has no listing for the 948 cars. Same goes for the 
Moss  catalog. So the question comes down to which spring should I purchase 
for  a Bugeye (now with 1293 power), that I intend to lower. I also should 
note  that I have no problem going to a higher performance (aka:stiffer) spring.
 
Thanks,
Howard
